No.
And I guess (and hope), that not YOU are having PWM! The displays use that and you are getting dizzy because of it

I believe LCD will be a thing for smartphones for the foreseeable as they are a lot cheaper to manufacture than OLED panels. Unfortunately for some people, Apple’s flagship phones are all OLED as those panels represent the best technology we have available. The second tier SE line, in my opinion, will always have LCD panels as those phones are priced as mid-ranged competitors. I would like to see the next SE take up the iPhone 11 design as it will allow PWM suffers to own a phone with an up-to-date chipset without the ancient 2014 bezels.
I had my fingers crossed for this hope, too. Even considered torturing myself again by trying the OLEDs of the 14--because maybe they're better this time--but I decided against that. Instead, I just traded-in my 11 at Apple and bought a brand new...11. I figured this model might disappear when the 14 comes out, and I'd rather do the trade-in and purchase new while I still could.
For now, it's a fresh phone, fresh battery, fresh screen, fresh everything. It's clearly not as much fun as buying a new-model phone, but I bought a new case and tried to have fun with it. If we can't enjoy the new-model phones, I say we find a way to enjoy the phones that we can use in a new way. Good luck! Hope you find something that works for you.

Sadly no The only hope is that Apple could improve it with higher PWM frequency like a Honor Magic 4 Pro or that it could work flicker free. But there is currently no known OLED panel from the display manufacturer that comes without PWM. Presumably that will take time.
